AAron, Benzart, Palm City, Teakey, Sam, Chongolio and Rodeo, Thanks. I appreciate the comments. I always enjoy seeing all the great work you guys create here on TC.

Scott, great meeting you at Hukilau last year. I saw your recent work on your web site, great stuff man.

Foamy, thanks, the final is painted in Photoshop. I start with a pencil sketch outside of the computer, scan that and use it as a guide to draw out the image in illustrator, kind of like an underpainting at this point. Then I bring that into Photoshop and paint the final image. Probably more of an explination than you wanted.

Below is a painting I did for Gecko's limited edition card for his Voodoo tiki mug.

The lamp on the right is a rendering of one from Gecko's collection and the tiki on the sign is one of his carvings.


I survived the head-hungry Jivaro tribe!
